But if you accept the presuppositions of the Republican narrative then voting for them is in their interest. Which is why they do, because they do accept it.

I mean, who's saying they can't provide for their family.

Everyone has their own values, but once they're at a point where they can provide the basics for their family, there's nothing wrong with them voting against their further financial interests

voting republican is fundamentally in my financial interests.

i don't vote republican both out of a significant disagreement on all social issues, and the perception that democrats' spending views align with the sort of country I would prefer to live in, with less need for militarization of the police. I'm not eager to create a police state so I can swim in the mountains of cash that I lose by investing in GE.

yeah it actually kind of makes me mad that people are so much into 'whats the matter with kansas' style arguments about republicans voting against their own interests when you could sort of ask the same question about the entire d.c. metro area

That's nothing lol. Up until Reagan the rich were taxes up to 90%+

I don't think it should be that high but it should be higher than it is now

Now we're getting somewhere.

And even voting against the other side is pointless since both parties wind up putting out similar policies. Just look at which president signed the Defense of Marriage Act.
